I load Xtremes in 357 and 45 Colt. They are excellent bullets but the cannelure on them seems to really only be marks on the plating, not a true cannelure like on a jacketed bullet. I use a Lee Factory Crimp Die to put a light roll crimp on them and it works great. Just a half a turn down is all it takes. I also don't load them really hot, I get better accuracy when loading them slower, so bullets pulling has never been an issue for me.
